The heir to Brazilian tropicalism, Santtana marks 25 years of his career with 'Brasiliano', a true collective celebration that brings together prestigious collaborators: Gilberto Gil, Oxmo Puccino, Flavia Coelho, Piers Faccini, Chico Cesar, Paralamas do Sucesso, Cocanha, Dimartino, Karyna Gomes, Tainara Takua, Rachel Reis and Maria Lado.
ung in eight different languages, Brasiliano is both an ode to linguistic diversity and a testament to its symbolic power. Carried by luminous and layered arrangements where voices intertwine like a polyphonic conversation, the album treats language as a musical instrument in its own right, but also as a political tool.
Santtana questions cultural heritage, identity, colonial memory, and the possibility of a shared language. With his singular approach-- blending popular rhythms, contemporary soundscapes and vibrant melodies-- he celebrates the love and exchange embodied in Romance languages, where music becomes fertile ground for encounters and reinvention.
